Falcon (OC)
| The name or term "Falcon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Falcon (disambiguation). |
- Falcon is a Micromaster from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Falcon (ファルコン Farukon) is a member of the Wing Team. He's the hardest-working member of the team, following his commander Chain Gun's orders without hesitation. He never says much that's not related to battle, behavior that hides an inquisitive mind. During his time as a Decepticon, he always wondered just why it was that he and his fellow Seiberdroids were reprogrammed by that freak dimensional wavefront. But like the dedicated soldier he is, he never once gave voice to this this uncertainty of purpose, and never once let it affect his performance.
Fiction
Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity
Micromaster Collection
Falcon was one of several Autobot Seiberdroids who were mutated into Decepticon Micromasters by a mysterious dimensional shockwave. After the ship crash-landed on Earth, he and his fellow Decepticons began causing trouble. A New Transformer Legend Begins!! Shortly after the arrival of Sixturbo on the Autobots' side, Falcon joined his teammates to form Sixwing and attack the Autobots' base after a failed attempt by Missile Run to steal some Seiberdroid capsules. During the course of the battle, Sixwing took a blast from the Autobots' experimental Vaccine Program Gun, intended to return their original Autobot programming, but instead giving the Wing Team the power of the Berserker. Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!
Later, Sixwing was routed by the newly-arrived Sixtrain, who used his "Red Mode" power to blast him into his components. The team fled, leaving the Autobots free to examine the Decepticons' excavation site near a dormant volcano. Once the Autobots dug up a pair of metal plates of Cybertronian origin, Chain Gun called for another attack to snatch the prizes, the team once again forming Sixwing. Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!
Operation Combination
Years later, Falcon (now an Autobot once again) and the rest of the Six-team Micromasters joined Guard City and the Road Corps in defending Earth from the forces of the Decepticon Führer Scrash. Operation Combination

Toys
Operation Combination
- Sixwing (Micromaster Sixteam, 1992)
- Japanese ID number: TF-02
- The original version of Falcon was available only as part of a Sixwing gift set in Japan, transforming into an F-16 Falcon fighter jet (which makes his name oh so clever). He can also form either leg to any of the "kibble-jet" style of Six-Team, though his nominal placement is as the left leg of Sixwing. (He can form a rather stumpy and awkward arm as well, but requires the Sixturbo fists to do so.) The toy's larger connector socket is approximately 5mm wide, making Falcon compatible with Powerlinx ports. The original Six-Teams are considered among the more difficult Japanese Generation 1 pieces to find.
- This mold is also used by the Universe Aerialbot Silverbolt.
Micromaster Collection
